The wife and I rented The Soloist last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It also got me to thinking I need to get back to listening to classical music and playing instruments more often... it would help had we not sold my violin a few years ago back when we were jobless to help pay for rent, but even just listening once in a while would be a step in the right direction.The Portland Cello Project...

Ok, not really, but that'd be cool, right?At first listen we were reminded of ano...

The only thing better than Aaron Rodger's sporty new mustache and the return of college football this evening was my wife's meatless lasagna. I ate so much I could put Garfield to shame. Hopefully I'll be putting that mustache to shame as well since I don't plan to shave between now and Halloween so that come Oct 31st I can shave my Zach Galifianakis like beard into a John Astin-as-Gomez Addams...

As an undergrad at UW-La Crosse I often found myself wandering into The Library for their $5 all you can drink Thursday wristbands. That never made the next morning's 7 am Computer Science lecture seem all that worthwhile.Now, there's a whole new kind of library out there that won't ruin your Friday morning lectures.

Film At 11: Modest MouseThe video for Modest Mouse’s “King Rat” has been a long time coming. While the song was first available in 2007, the video (and the band’s latest EP, No One’s First And Your Next) was released on Tuesday. It was well worth the wait.
